WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY (Continued)
MOMENT
Moment
is the product of the weight of an item
multiplied by its arm. (Moment divided by the constant
1000 is used in this handbook to simplify balance
calculations by reducing the number of digits.)
CENTER OF
GRAVITY (C.G.)
Center of Gravity
is the point at which an airplane or
equipment, would balance if suspended. Its distance
from the reference datum is found by dividing the total
moment by the total weight of the airplane.
C.G. ARM
Center of Gravity Arm
is the arm obtained by adding
the airplane’s indivi
dual moments and dividing the sum
by the total weight.
C.G. LIMITS
Center of Gravity Limits
are the extreme center of
gravity locations within which the airplane must be
operated at a given weight.
STANDARD EMPTY
WEIGHT
Standard Empty Weight
is the weight of a standard
airplane, including unusable fuel, full operating fluids
and full engine oil.
BASIC EMPTY
WEIGHT
Basic Empty Weight
is the standard empty weight
plus the weight of optional equipment.
USEFUL LOAD
Useful Load
is the difference between ramp weight
and the basic empty weight.
MAXIMUM RAMP
WEIGHT
Maximum Ramp Weight
is the maximum weight
approved for ground maneuver. (It includes the weight
of start, taxi and run-up fuel.)
GROSS (LOADED)
WEIGHT
Gross (Loaded) Weight
is the loaded weight of the
airplane.
MAXIMUM TAKEOFF
WEIGHT
Maximum Takeoff Weight
is the maximum weight
approved for the start of the takeoff run.
MAXIMUM LANDING
WEIGHT
Maximum Landing Weight
is the maximum weight
approved for the landing touchdown.
TARE
Tare
is the weight of chocks, blocks, stands, etc. used
when weighing an airplane, and is included in the scale
readings. Tare is deducted from the scale reading to
obtain the actual (net) airplane weight.
